There really isn't one. There are a couple tricks using libtricks to
watch used files during the build, but that's error-prone too. Make a
good guess :) Mostly, things like autoconf/automake/debhelper, and -dev
packages for any library a resulting .deb links to. Anything else
you'll probably have run in to on your own building it at some point.
